About STRONG Pilates

STRONG Pilates is a high-intensity, low-impact, full-body workout that combines rowing and biking with Pilates-inspired movements, utilizing an innovative Rowformer and Bikeformer machine.

Unlike regular Pilates, the Rowformer and Bikeformer allow for an elevated heart rate by using the row and bike side, then transitioning back to the Pilates side. The increased intensity results in a substantial calorie burn, helping the consumer burn body fat while also receiving the benefits of Pilates.

With over 120 locations globally, STRONG Pilates blends Pilates, strength, and cardio into one membership and workout. STRONG Pilates is fast-growing in the US and globally.
